NAMES THAT ARE POPULAR.

Parents display koiiid queer notions
of propriety In AiunliiK their children.
Those of ,i rellKlous turn of mind mure
frequently In former times than now
searched the Scriptures before the Imp
tlmnnl ceremony. Parents In search of
a fortune will label their luckles',
bnhes with the BiiriKime of the expect
ed testator. Hut, nevertheless, the list
of common English I'hiiatinn names
Is a very mnall one. Out of every 100
fathers mid mothers of mule, children
some 81 limit their chulco to 15 lamll
lar names.
The favorite name Is undoubtedly
William, in nil ranks of society In
the peerage: as In tho workhouse Wil

Stop the liift 1,000 men you meet In
the street. No fewer than 170 are Wil
liams. A Ions way behind come the
Johns, closely followed by llio (IroiRes.
Of eveiy 1,(100 men !M are called John
nnd !)2 George.
The next commonest lii'.nie Is Thotu

ono In four have received tho mime ol
Harry ut the baptismal font. Follow
ing them come. Frederick Willi Ci'f,
Charles with 4S, Alfred with -15 and
Albert sonio wny behind with 31. The
popularity of Albert has arisen en
tirely from the pnrsouul popularity of
the late queen's beloved consort. It
was practically unknown In Knglntid
beforo Queen Victoria's marriage.
The good old Kuxon appellation of
Edward Is given to C5 out of every
1,000 citizens, Arthur and Robert hav
ing each 23, while of tho remainder ot
these 1,000 men you havo accosted In
tho street 17 are called Joseph and 13
Herbert. So wo havo accounted for no
fewer than 850 out cf every 1,000 Eng
lishmen, nnd they dlvldo between them
only 15 out of the many hundreds, nay
thousands, of names from which par
ents are at liberty to choose.
Of tho remaining 141 of our repre
sentative 1,000 a few, such as Kithard,
Percy or Ernest, are claimed sovorally
by two or three men, but all the rest
are tho sole and exclusive property of
"one In 1.000."
The lliillnray Chronograph.
A remarkable device Is the railway
chronograph, which, attached to the
machinery of the locomotive, keeps a
record of every mile of track traveled.
It la claimed for It that it will chron
icle every blast ot the whistle, exact
time and filace, tho speod every min

In two, and how fast the speed when
the train parted; the time and place
any accident occurs; the speed ap

Improved Methods of Corn llnrrrsllnv.
The past few years havo seon wonder
ful ImptotenieetH In the methods of
harvesting ivirn. Several largo agrl
i ullitral machine manufacturers huvu
been putting corn harveeters on tho
litnrkct. The deiimi d (or tho machines
when well understood was greater than
the capacity of the factories. In many
Tii'i'tlnns It Is a rnrlty to llnd a farmer
without, a corn hnrvester. Thn grent
ndvniitnge In iiulng these corn harvest
ers Is iho raving of labor. Any mn
who has tiled it knows thnt cutting
corn by hand is one of thn imi.sr. la
borious of farm operations. Then, tori,
the corn harvester hinds the stalks In
bunilli3 and tho fodder consequently
Is much easier to handle. Iltt'ler
rhoelis can be made nnd more ileKliuble
fodder results.
As a complement Ut the corn binder,
tho modern busker and shredder Is a
Krcnt success mid litis eonie to stay.
Different sizes nro manufactured and
they work so perfectly that not only
l.i a large amount husked each day, but
tho husks are taken" off completely.
Tho shredded fodder Is in excellent
condition for feeding, nnd If properly
stacked or stored In tho mow Ih al
moHt. as good as bay, provided tho
corn bus been cut early. tilbert
Wheeler, In American Agriculturist.
Ireparlnff the Fired lied foe Wlimit,
perl I! ictus in deep anil shallow
flowing for wheat at a law number
of agricultural experiment stations,
Bhow that tho depth of plowing Is n it
of bo much importance. with tels crop
as a firm seed bed, the upper three or
four inches ol' which is mell-iw and in
good tilth. As with tho other cereals,
subsoiling has not been found finan
cially profitable.
Early plowing for fall wheat has
been found especially desirable at u
larg number of the fxperlment sta
tions. In many states It is a colli
sion custom among farmers to sow
w'l.snt after oats. Where this ia done
tho earlier the soil Is plowed after thn
cat crop is removed tho better tho ro
sults will bo. This point haa been well
brought out by experiments at a num
ber of different Untluns in all parts of
tho country.
The vnluo of early plowing for fall
wheat nns lately been summarized by
the department of agriculture as fol
lows: Early plowing, followed at In
tervals by harrowing, prevents tho
ttrowth of weeds, conserves tho moli't
nre of tho soil, keeps the soil in good
tilth and results In tho formation of a
seed bed best suited for the prompt
germination and growth of the eeed.
The cost of preparing the ground is
lessened, tho ylem of grain Is In
creased and tho practice is financially
profitable.
Many farmers roll the seed bed. On
heavy lands this is of no advantage,
but on lighter soils It firms down tho
eeed bad, thus insuring a mora even
germination of tho seed and a mora
certain contact with tho soil water
contained in tho subsoil, and would
seem to be deslrablo, especially in dry
seasons. In irtuhrolllngand harrowing
after seeding Increased the yield a lit
tle over three bushels per aero. On
the value of railing whe.at lands in
the west the United States department
of agriculture has thin to say: A roll
er should never be used on the western
plains, except In the case of lata plow
ing, and even then it should be used
only before drilling. Thla is owing to
the fact that roughness of surface is
vnlunblo for holding molHturn and
cheeking tho Injurious, action of dry
winds, The seed bed should Im mada
tery fine and mellow before drllliim,
nnd whenever possible the drill row
r.liofl Itl run eant and west. Strict at
tention to such general principles n
llio foregoing will result In an Incrensn
In certain peasona of as much as flvn
or 10 bushels per nere. C. U. Smith, ia
New England llomeidead.
Orsnnle Matter In Anils,
Scientists who have given their at
tention to soils devote t "ltisblerablo
discussion lo humus and Its formation.
The Kill Is largely compmed of clay
lime, silica (sand) and humus, and.
according to Mr. Freer-Thonger of
Euglstid, who baa devoted much of his
time to tbo investigation of soils, all
vegetable matter which grows and dies
on the soil Is transformed Info lititniiM.
Formerly It was supposed that humus
alone furnished food for plants, hence
the fertility of a soil wns mtimaled ac
cording lo Its content In humus or or
Knnli! matter. There was some truth
In tl.o liellef, fir In organic matter un
dergoing decomposition there exists ni
trogenous matters which are gradually
converted Into ammonia and nitric;
acid. Carbonic acid gas Is also a prod
uct of ileeemiitiMlllon. which acts pow
erfully In rendering soluble tho min
eral cli iin'iiU of tho soil. Humus soils
havo the property of retaining the sol
uble mineral nulls, which are so easily
washed away Into the subsoil. Soils
containing much humus are enslly
worked, and owing lo Ihr lr dark color
ar easily warmed by the sun. Sue h
noils give good returns when dresnod
with phosphate, although on clay t'oll4
ler.s potash may be required tlinn on
IKht sandy land. Tho application ot
limn favors iiitrilliatlon of the nltro
l c nous organic inn Iter. It Is claimed
that liiimiis solln are rich In nitrogen,
poor In phosphoric ni id, with varia
ble finiinlllles of potash. Snndy soll)
nro picMir in all the plant foods. Clay
soils nro rich In potash, xior In plios
I'horlc ni Id, but vary In nitrogen.
1 befe ( Inline, however, depend Inrgely
upon tli" cliaracleriHlb s of soils, their
treatment and the kinds of crops that
havo b"cu grown thereon.
llpinus Is formed under ninny con
ditions", lycaves, roots, straw, manure
and green substances that have been
turned under all Bfllst In tho work.
Tho value of humus doea not depend
exclusively upon Its content of plant
focd, but niotdly In tho Influence It ex
erts on the soil In relntion lo Its phy
sical condition, and Ita acid In render
ing thn plant food of the soil availa
ble for the sustenance and growth of
piunls. llio upper portion of tho soil
usually contains more humus than tho
deeper portion, which marks or con
iilitnles the difference between soil and
subsoil. Humus is the great reser
voir wlili h retains the soil molstitro
mill nitrogen, it absorbs moisture like
a f pohgo and prrvrnta nscnpe of mois
ture that would otherwise bo lost; but,
while It ftores up nitrogen and other
plant f(!-')d It slowly nnd constantly
p,lvos out carbonic neld gas as a result
of decay of vegetable matter. This
acid acts on stones, polls nnd all In
soluble materials, netting free tho pot
ash and pbofipbates contained, thus
providing plant foods for crops. He
sides carbonic acid evolved from hu
mus, oilier veget.iblo acids are formed.
Willi h i onihino witli lime, potash and
other sub.tanees to form liiimatea. All
of these procc'es are constantly oe
turrlnp, the plant foods of (he soil be
coming available even when the farmer
does not assist In the work, for It is
well known that one of tbo most. di
rect and effective methodu of adding
to the humus of tho soil Is by the plow
ing under of green crops, which collect
cartoti from the atmosphere, nnd If
elover, peas, beans or other leguminous
( rops are used a large amo'.int of nitro
gen Is also added to the soil. Tho use
o!' green crops Is nlmcr.t necessary In
order to promote tbo formation of hu
mus, although It has been demonstrat
ed that when tho ground Is covered
with sod or any other covering there is
a formation of humus tinder proper
conditions.
Every farmer should endeavor to so
rotate and cultivate his crops as to
promote tho formation of humus, but
!t may lie stated that it has oeen found
by experlcent when tho soli was well
ruppiled with tbo phosphates and pot
nnh there Is more humus formed than
v. hen such mineral substances are de
P' .-lent, hence no farmer should depend
upon green manurlal crois exclusively,
i'.vett barnyard manure, which pro
motes tho formation of humus, will not
F.lvo as good results as when both ma
nure nnd fertilizers tre used. It is
tho duty of tho farmer to keep his land
well supplied with all the essential
clomenta so necisaary for plants, for it
Is often a grave mistake to allow any
nibstance to be lacking, as there la
mi eh a thing a9 a superabundance of
one substance with an insufficiency of
olheru, in which caso the crop will
niako excellent progress for awhile and
Hum fail to utilize more of the partic
ular plant food with which it haa been
overfed. Humus usxIUs in providing
till the foils, and aH'o holds the mois
ture for the supply of the crop. There
is constantly occurring in the soil moro
or lets loss of plant food. Exposure at
certain seasons ts Injurious to eoIIu.
Sltailo is one of the conditions re
quired by soil bacteria, and shade con
duce? to tho formation of humus. In
fact, all farmers know that when a
heavy god is turned under the result is
a lurgo addition of humus to the soil.
Such sod land may have been closely
cropped by grazing cattle, but it gained
In fertility, due to the shading of the
soil, and also to the prevention of loss
ot soluble plant foods by leaching from
rains and melting snowa. Any kind of
crop that covers the soil, therefore, a,
slats in the formation of humus In the
soil. Philadelphia Record.

get out of an experience in a country

hero that 1 hnd never been In a tropi

(he north, and whatever 1 knew about
many of the forms of life in tropi
cal sections was altogether theoretical.
I hail merely read about, many of tho
things, but I learned afterwards that
there were many things ! bad never
dreamed of even In moments when my
mind was Inclined to conjure with the
horrors of uneven sleep. Well, I found
myself In Mexico, was In tho wilds
of Mexico, and that, where one could
find but few of the comforts known
to the more advanced ways or living.
I stopped wllh an old Mexican onn
night, and he put mo In a (lumpy little
room off to myself. slept on the
floor, or rather I started to Hrep on
the floor nnd It was a dirt floor at
that I colled up on a mattress ninde
of some light material. I had Just
closed my eyes when I felt, something
scramble rapidly over my forehead.
It started me a bit, but f kept cool
and still to see ir It would happen
again.
It happened In les.-t time thnn !t

until the experiment was (llsorgaiilzin;;
my nerves, and I could stand It no
longer. I got up and started out, mid
I felt the same thing happening to
my feet. Partly panic stricken. I
rushed into thn room of lit" old Mrv
han. ".Something In yonder," I said,
pointing townrd my room. He took
In thn situation at once, and assured
mo thnt It was all right. He struck
a light and went to the room with mo
to assure me that there was no danger.
When I got back to my room I was
paralyzed. Crawling over the walls
of the hut and scrariiplng over tbo
floor, over tho mattress on which I
had lain, nnd running hero and there,
and everywhere, was a perfect army
of lizards of a'l sizes, ages and varie
ties. I told the Mexican to leave mo
the light, and that I would occupy
tho room for the night. And so f
did. But I did not sleep, for I did
t.ot want tho lizards however harm
less and companionable they might be,
to convert my face and forehead Into

The Ideal Frhrml leneher.
The teacher must tench more, and
know more; ho must be a living foun
tain, not n Ftagnant fool. He should
hoc bo n dealer in dedicated, second
hand knowledge, a mere giver out and
litarer of lessons. Thnt is the chief
nnd humiliating difference between our
secondary teachers and thoso abroad,
who are mostly doctors of philosophy,
as they should be. If we could movo
many university professors to the col
lego many college professors to the
high school, many high school teach
ers to tho grammar school, and somo
grammar school teachers with at least
a sprinkling or college, graduates, Into
the kindergarten It would do much.
In the Gorman and French school the
teacher is ono who knows a great deal
about his subject, and Is nearer to
original sources; who tells the great
truths of tho sciences almost like sto
ries, and who does not affect tho airs
nnd methods of tho university profes
sor. Very many secondary teachers
are masters and authorities. Here,
roost of our university pedagogy Is a
mere device for so influencing high
school principals and teachers as to
correlate curricula, in order to corral
in students, and little Interest Is taken
in the grammar grades and none in
the kindergarten. The Furum.
Nnne Could Climb It,
Fifteen hundred people saw a Mal
tese sailor try to fix a flag to tho polo
in Jackson square and fall, he climbed
almost to the top and then slid to tbo
bottom. But ho was not discouraged.
Once more he tried to get to the top,
but it was not to be. He got about
half way up, and again his strength
gave way and he had to como to the
bottom. But still he was not dismayed.
He tried the task again and again. He
seemed to think ho was the man for
that job, and he wanted to make a
showing before the crowd there assem
bled, but he failed. Ho could not
climb the pole, and to the idea of hav
ing a flag on the top of the staff had to
be abandoned.
Several others essayed to do that
which tho Maltese had tried and failed,
bu. they had no better luck,, and so
the attempt waa given up, and the tall
est flag polo in the city remains with
out a flag, for tho reason nobody with
nerve and skill enough could be found
who would venture to make the as

LONDON'S ANCIENT RIGHT,

of being cupbearer to the King at. the

ceremony with the Aldermen and 12

gold, and with Its cover weighed pre

paying for the cup and, presumably,
the wine, belonged to the King, and
It subsequently became the property
of the Lord Mnyor, as a fee or reward
